Abstract: Reagent delivery systems, which can include a reagent trough and a pump system, are useful for delivering liquids to a laboratory workbench. Processing samples on the laboratory workbench can result in a large amount of liquid waste. Described herein are reagent troughs, pump systems, reagent delivery systems, waste management systems, and methods of using the same.

Abstract: A device includes a casing, circuitry within the casing, and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is connected to the circuitry and is attached to the casing in such a way that an air gap separates the temperature sensor from the casing. The temperature sensor is attached to the casing in a bridge. The bridge includes a first backing and a second backing, which includes a grommet. The temperature sensor is positioned between a portion of the first backing and a portion of the second backing, and includes a flex lead that is electrically connected through the grommet of the second backing to the circuitry inside the casing.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for deploying a tubular body across a gap. The tubular body is fixed to a surface on either side of the gap. The system includes a first connector housing fixed to the first surface and a second connector housing fixed to a second surface. An insertion end of the first connector housing is smaller than a receiving end of the second connector housing such that the insertion end of the first connector is insertable into the receiving end of the second connector housing. The tubular body passes continuously through the interior volume of the first connector housing and through the interior volume of the second connector housing.

Abstract: An improved bi-fold shutter that includes a more efficient coupling mechanism at a hinge point suited to facilitate opening and closing the bi-fold shutter with greater ease. In one embodiment, the shutter may be designed for a window such that the shutter, when closed, is relatively close to the face of the associated window, and when open, forms an awning or overhang. The shutter includes an improved coupling mechanism at a hinge point between a first shutter portion and a second shutter portion. The improved hinge point shifts a direction of force needed to maneuver the shutter when moving the shutter from one position to another. The shift in opening and closing force directions improves the efficiency by which the shutter can be operated. In some embodiments, the shutter may be hand-operated. In other embodiments, the shutter may be powered.

Abstract: A cable adapter module includes a cable tray that holds a plurality of cables and an adapter tray removably attached to the cable tray. The adapter tray includes a plurality of adapters configured to connect the plurality of cables. The cable adapter module may also include a plurality of cable clips configured to secure the plurality of cables to the cable tray. The cable tray of the cable adapter module may also include a plurality of steps configured to hold the plurality of cables. The cable tray of the cable adapter module may also include a plurality of splice slots extending from the base wall towards the top of the cable tray, and at least one splice holder removably attached to the plurality of splice slots.

Abstract: A door handle cable lock including a first cable with a first loop at a first end. The first loop is sized to fit around a door handle. The first cable has a second loop at a second end. The second loop is attached to a first connector. The first connector is configured to connect to a wall connector. The wall connector is connected to the wall adjacent to the door. The cable is of a length that will allow it to be placed over the doorknob and for the door not to be capable of opening. A second cable is attached to the wall connector and the first connector. The second connector acts as a back-up connector if the first connector malfunctions.
